Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through (2,-5) and (12,3)? Make sure to simplify your answer if possible

Answer 1

4/5

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:-5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(12,\:3\right)\\\\m=(3-\left(-5\right))/(12-2)\\\\m =((3+5)/(12-2))\\\\ m=((8)/(10))\\ \\Simplify\\m=(4)/(5)`
